Strawberry Jam

 Today I'm sharing my favorite strawberry jam. 

As a little girl my grandma would pick me up bright and early to head to the berry patch. 

We'd pick quarts and quarts of berries, and then sometimes my brother and I would sell them to make a little money or we'd make jam or pie. 

I don't ever eat jam unless it's homemade freezer jam. 

My grandma's have definitely spoiled me because I really don't like jams, soups or pies that aren't homemade. 

This is a super simple recipe that anyone can make,

I simply follow the recipe on the Sure Jell box. 

I use the Quick and Easy Freezer Jam recipe. 

It doesn't take more than 30 minutes including cutting the berries.
